The Gaiam Essentials Thick Yoga Mat is a 10mm (2/5-inch) foam mat with a cinch strap for carrying and storage. It may suit you if you do floor-based routines such as yoga, Pilates or stretching at home and prefer a softer, cushioned feel to a firm one.

Product details

  • Made from 10mm (2/5-inch) high-density NBR foam
  • Listed dimensions of about 72 x 24 inches, with a weight of roughly 2.8 pounds
  • Textured foam surface that the listing describes for dry workouts on most hard floors
  • Adjustable Easy-Cinch carrying strap included
  • Color: Black; model 05-63319

Why you might like it

  • If you kneel or lie down a lot during workouts, Gaiam says the thick foam is meant to ease pressure on knees and hips on hard floors.
  • If you like a plush surface, the brand describes this mat as putting comfort and shock absorption ahead of firmness.
  • If you move your mat between rooms or classes, the included adjustable strap is meant for carrying it once rolled up.
  • If you want simple upkeep, the listing says a damp cloth is all you need to wipe it clean.

Good to know

  • The listing mentions an initial foam smell that it says usually goes away once the mat has aired out for a day or two.
  • Because the brand favors softness over firmness here, consider whether that suits your style of practice before ordering.
